`Fontaine` `20:22 p.m`
That evening, Furina was in the kitchen, preparing a Ratatouille with fine herbs and freshly baked bread. She had finished her workday hours earlier and had taken a brief nap before dedicating her attention to dinner. She was busy slicing carrots and zucchini when the sound of a car pulling into the garage caught her attention.
Drying her hands with a towel—still damp from the vegetable juices—Furina stepped out of the kitchen and walked toward the living room, intrigued by the unexpected arrival. There, she saw Arlecchino enter with her characteristic confident demeanor, wearing a dark coat buttoned tightly. Something about her chest seemed oddly bulky, too much to be her usual figure.
Raising an eyebrow, Furina let out a sigh and said with a tone of surprise:
"Good evening, love. I didn’t expect you back so earli—"
Before she could finish her sentence, Arlecchino smiled playfully, her eyes gleaming with unusual excitement, and unbuttoned her coat, "My love, look at our baby," she said, revealing a small white cat with black spots, which let out a soft meow as it was exposed to the warm light of the room.
Furina, taking in the scene, placed a hand on her forehead and let out a gentle laugh. "But, Arlecchino…" she began, her tone a mix of affection and exasperation.
The kitten, oblivious to the exchange, purred contentedly and snuggled closer to Arlecchino, as if it already knew it had found a place in this home—a home where two worlds, so opposite, could create something new and special together.
